Sunday’s Premier League action concludes at The City Ground, where Nottingham Forest and Manchester United go head-to-head.

Steve Cooper’s side are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and are without a win since Gameweek 22, while the Red Devils were held to a disappointing 2-2 draw by Sevilla in midweek.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw and Marcus Rashford are all absent for the visitors, as Erik ten Hag makes three changes to the side that started on Thursday.

Tyrell Malacia is also missing from the matchday squad, with Victor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Diogo Dalot coming in. That means Anthony Martial continues up front, flanked by Antony and Jadon Sancho.

As for Nott’m Forest, they make four alterations to the team that lost 2-0 to Aston Villa in Gameweek 30. Scott McKenna, Renan Lodi, Remo Freuler and Taiwo Awoniyi come in for Joe Worrall, Harry Toffolo, Jonjo Shelvey and Cheikhou Kouyate.

*Marcel Sabitzer picked up an injury in the warm-up so Christian Eriksen has replaced him in the starting XI.

GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Navas, Felipe, Niakhate, McKenna, Williams, Freuler, Danilo, Lodi, Gibbs-White, Johnson, Awoniyi

Subs: Hennessey, Worrall, Mangala, Shelvey, Lingard, Toffolo, Surridge, Dennis, Ayew

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Dalot, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Martial

    Whole Forest team must own Bruno. Giving him the freedom of Nottingham.

    Sancho's technical ability with Antony's willingness to shoot whenever would be some player.

  10. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

  11. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Navas clearly doesn’t have Bruno in his team

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    We Bruno owners are so getting a blank here

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

  13. Zladan

    Bruno major haul on another day... when we don't own him of course.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Yep, story of the season. He’ll deliver when we don’t have him. It doesn’t matter how he plays he is blanking for us :((

  14. Sun Jihai

    Watching Rashford + Bruno has been painful as an owner the last few weeks

  15. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Bruno is going to finish on 1 point isn't he?

    1. romperstomper
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

  16. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Ahead of Martial

      On average

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 1 day ago

    Can see why Sabitzer & McTomminey been playing more advanced lately. Actually convert in front of goal 😉

  19. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    At least owning Bruno this game is more exciting than the previous ones!
    Still hope for a return

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Everton was pretty exciting. Ended up a turd.

  20. Zladan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Eriksen wastes Bruno A... madness.

    1. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Well, Navas saved it

  21. g40steve

  22. Ady87

    It’s games like this which make you want an overhaul of the BPS system.

    1. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      I have no better alternative to suggest btw.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Why L?

    3. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      True. Clean sheet already gets 4 pts

    4. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Maguire max BPS, Bruno nowhere to be seen. One has run the show and one has nearly cost us the game 3 times.

    5. FantasyTony
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

      Round up players Xg+a accumulated in the match and add it as points.

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 day ago

        xGA contribution for mids/forwards is a great shout.

  23. g40steve

      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

  27. g40steve
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago

    Navas racking up the saves

    1. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 day ago

  29. Hazz

    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 day ago
